82: Strong armored man

"Oh no! It's an ambush!"

There were some knowledgeable individuals among the Martial Artist squad.

Upon seeing the man die, they immediately let out a loud shout.

However, before the man's voice had even faded, another arrow flew over.

His gaze sharpened; having been prepared, he slashed the arrow apart with his blade.

"Watch out, this must be a sound-triggered trap!"

Someone in the crowd lowered their voice to warn the others.

Everyone quickly fell silent, fearing they would be targeted by the mechanism.

Several people used their own methods, successfully dodging the arrows that had just been triggered.

Li Canglan executed his Stepping Wind Steps, using the power of wind elements to dodge with ease.

A moment later, the cave returned to silence.

There were over ten Martial Artists in total; three were injured, and two were dead.

Everyone looked at Li Canglan, who remained at the back of the group looking nonchalant, a flicker of wariness flashing in their eyes.

The light in the cave was dim, making it difficult to discern the direction of the attacks.

To be able to dodge attacks so nonchalantly, his strength was definitely formidable!

"My friend, would you be willing to join our team?"

One of the rugged Martial Artists walked to within seven or eight meters of Li Canglan, stopped, and asked in a deep voice.

This time, he was not as arrogant as the Martial Artist who had died miserably at the hands of Li Canglan earlier.

Most of them were just a temporarily assembled team.

In such a dangerous environment, preserving one's life and surviving was the most important thing.

Who would offend a powerhouse like Li Canglan for the sake of someone they had only met once?

However, Li Canglan simply shook his head nonchalantly, "I have no intention of teaming up with outsiders."

The distance in his words was obvious.

It was as if he had practically written that he didn't trust them all over his face.

A short-tempered Martial Artist in the group wanted to flare up, but was held back by a companion.

Conserving strength was more important than a momentary outburst of emotion!

After a brief stalemate, the group continued to walk deeper inside.

Li Canglan followed behind, not worried about whether these people would choose to give up.

No Martial Artist could resist the allure of a Heaven And Earth Treasure!

After an unknown amount of time, the view gradually became brighter.

"Hurry, we're almost at the exit!"

The group quickened their pace and soon saw a figure wearing ancient armor in the distance.

That figure was sitting upright on a stone seat, motionless.

It was just like a statue that had existed there since ancient times.

"Who wants to go up and test it first?"

The strangeness in this cave had already filled them with fear.

For a moment, no one dared to step forward rashly.

However, just at this moment, they faintly saw an almost invisible red thread flying in from the path behind them.

It connected with the armored man.

"Click! Click!"

As the thread entered its body, the armored man's body began to sway.

The stones that had accumulated on its body fell to the ground, making a low thudding sound.

"Oh no, this armored man must be absorbing blood to awaken!"

Someone in the Martial Artist squad quickly made a judgment.

"If we wait any longer, we'll probably all die here!"

"If you don't go and I don't go, everyone will die! If you ask me, let's all go together, no one is allowed to chicken out!"

There wasn't much time for them to hesitate.

Several people charged toward the armored man.

The fastest one among them struck the armored man's throat with an axe.

"Clang!"

A harsh sound of metal clashing rang out, sparking a burst of fire.

This armored man even had its throat area protected by armor!

It was completely an iron can!

The Martial Artist's full-force axe blow only left a faint white mark on the armor in front of the armored man's throat.

"Damn, this thing is too hard!"

Before his voice had faded, the armored man's eyes suddenly opened.

They were a pair of eyes as dead and silent as a deep pool, holding only indifference toward life.

The armored man suddenly stood up, reached out, and grabbed the Martial Artist's wrist.

"Snap!"

The wrist bone fractured!

With terrifying strength, the armored man grabbed the Martial Artist and threw him directly against the tunnel wall.

A loud, spine-chilling crash rang out.

The entire tunnel shook slightly from the impact, and stones tumbled down.

Another Martial Artist who had already approached swallowed his saliva, his eyes filled with fear.

This strength and speed were definitely not that of a one-star Demonic Beast!

But as things stood, it was too late to try to run away.

He could only stab his sword toward the armored man's back.

The armored man did not turn around; it swept the horse lance it was holding backward.

The Martial Artist felt his arm go numb, unable to hold onto his war sword, and his weapon was knocked flying away.

Only then did the armored man turn around, amidst the shocked and horrified gazes of the crowd.

The horse lance smashed toward the Martial Artist's head.

If it connected, the result would be his head exploding!

While the other Martial Artists had already approached.

Several weapons were hacking at the armored man's body.

But the armored man acted as if it didn't hear them, preparing to tank their attacks head-on!

These people alone couldn't do anything to it.

However, just at this moment, three brilliant pythons of thunder suddenly appeared.

Amidst a loud roar of thunder, the three bolts of lightning struck the armored man, causing it to stumble and lose its footing.

The horse lance thus barely brushed past the man's body.

It didn't smash his head.

Giving the Martial Artist a chance to escape.

"Thank you!"

The shaken Martial Artist, after creating some distance, repeatedly thanked Li Canglan.

At this moment, he felt ashamed of his previous hostile behavior toward Li Canglan.

The attacks from four Martial Artists landed on the armored man.

Crisp clashing sounds rang out, but they failed to cause much damage to the armored man.

The armored man, having turned around, was expressionless as its plain, unadorned horse lance swept across like an army.

"Bang!"

Three Martial Artists dodged in time.

The Martial Artist who reacted a beat too slowly was struck in the chest by the horse lance.

"Snap!"

He didn't know how many bones had shattered.

He spat out blood, his whole body flying backward to slam against the wall, and then slowly slid down.

With one strike of the horse lance, he was instantly severely injured!

The surrounding Martial Artists looked horrified.

Their strength was about the same as that of the severely injured man.

This meant that if they were hit, they would likely not escape the fate of being severely injured.

"You guys distract it, I'll deal the damage."

Just then, a strange voice came from the back of the group.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and discovered it was the stranger who had killed one of the Martial Artists earlier.

"Just now, were those lightning bolts your doing?"

One of the Martial Artists asked in a deep voice, seemingly having realized something.

Li Canglan nodded nonchalantly, "If you don't want to die, then find a way to distract this armored man."

"You don't need to worry about dealing damage, I'll take care of it."

He didn't know how many dangers they would encounter in this cave.

Before they could obtain the final Heaven And Earth Treasure and other potential rewards.

Although these people were not qualified to be his helpers.

Using them as targets for the armored man would at least reduce some of his own exertion.

The few Martial Artists looked at each other and began to engage the armored man.

They certainly weren't willing to leave now.

Even if there was only a tiny chance to snatch the Heaven And Earth Treasure, they were willing to give it a try!
